Up the Revolution, smash the corrupt state. :ping:;)

There is another reason for this binge drinking problem we have, people can not be bothered to act and let the government push them around. Dose not matter who is in power they will continual to push people around, people as in the voter have forgotten this fact...They work for us.

How many people make the effort to write to their MP or even see them? You got to make these MP's work for you by giving them Hell. If the voter can not be bothered to act why should any government care about them?

The drink idea is nothing more than a PA stunt just like this one today..

Food and drink companies have promised to cut calories in their products to help tackle obesity in the UK.

The 17 firms, which include Coca-Cola, Subway and Tesco, have signed up to the government scheme.

The Department of Health says England has one of Europe's highest obesity rates and that consuming too many calories is the root of the problem.

Nanny State at it again, calorie in take is one thing but it comes down to how much food your eating & how active your are. So the Nanny State wants to take over and the result? Man rushed to hospital after a heart attack bought on by being over weight, he tells the hospital the government is in charge of his weight so why should he do sod all about it then goes on to take the government to court for failing to look after him. :doh:


I'm afraid George Orwell has got it right, until the proletarians wake up nothing will change for the better.

Sounds like another fuel tanker strike is possible, the government is going to set aside some army drivers, train them to drive tankers and use them if and when it happens. Could be as soon as next month.

Oil not dole? :hmmm:

Jimbuna 03-24-12 07:18 PM

Tribesman 03-25-12 03:55 AM

Oh dear, the Tories have done it again.
Selling foriegn "businessmen" access to Cameron and Osbourne at a handy rate of a £250k "donation" to party funds.
Their defence...Cruddas had only been made deputy treasurer 3 weeks before so didn't know his job.:doh:

So is Murdoch getting his own back on the tories after Cameron tried to distance himeslf from all of his and Ruperts mutual friends when the criminal inquiry went ahead into newscorp?

Ah come on, that only affects the poor buggers that are mortgaged up to the eyeballs and running scared.
Its a "volutary" self registration scheme to pay a bit of money while the pillocks try and get themselves together to make a database of people who have registered so they can work out how much to take off them.

I wouldn't have a problem with that tax if wasn't for something I had already been stung for.
But hey I am all for giving the govt. a break I ain't yet joining the crowd succesfully suing the government for their money back

Here in South Australia the price is $1.50 per litre!!:dead: We live in the country and travel 120km return to work each day, so this is really cutting into our wages!:damn:
